The effect of reaction time training on Speed and Agility in female basketball players

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to study and compare the effect of reflex training program on speed and agility of female basketball players at Silpakorn University. It is an experimental research. The sample group includes Female basketball player, Silpakorn University Sanam Chandra Palace Campus, academic year 2021, using purposive sampling, 18 people were collected by using a reaction training program that affects speed and agility. One-Way ANOVA with Repeated Measure was analyzed and the difference was tested in pairs by Bonferroni's Method. The results were summarized as follows.

1. The speed test results from the running speed test before training, after the 4^th week of training and after the 8^th week of training were mean and standard deviation of 4.97±0.59, 3.77±0.45, 3.45±0.20 seconds. respectively, and the speed comparison results showed that After training with the 8-week reaction training program, there were better changes than before training. statistically significant at the .05 level


2. The agility test results from the T-Test agility test before training, after the 4^th week of training and after the 8^th week of training were mean and the standard deviation were 13.29±1.23, 11.67±1.23, 10.83 ± 0.39 seconds, respectively, and the results of the comparison of agility found that After training with the 8-week reaction training program, there were better changes than before training. statistically significant at the .05 level

Reaction training affects speed and agility in female basketball players. Especially when training for 4 weeks or more. The postures in training must be consistent with the movements of that sport to cause the body to learn specific movement patterns. And can be used in competition effectively However, the reflexes must be practiced while having basic strength and readiness of the body. No symptoms of fatigue will allow the body to fully train and contribute to efficient development.
